Nada.... Not even a "your not qualified"..... I wish they would give some kind of word.

No idea man, I've applied about 3 times to D.C., twice to Boston and once to CT and I never got any type of correspondence from them. I'm a certified LEO in 2 states and college, don't know how they select for interviews

Oh you mean you were a scab hired by Kumant to get around the Amtrak police contract.

Your reply speaks volumes of you and your department. You think because our unit "got around" the contract makes us scabs? We were mostly veterans, mostly from Army Special Forces, and there to do a specific job and get it done. We had no beef with you guys, we just wanted to get the job done and protect our great nation. All you union guys want to do is protect your turf and milk the system. It's ok though buddy, you guys won that battle hands down. However, the long term result is that your capabilities have been weakened dramatically with the loss of quality operators such as myself and the other OSSSO agents who left. Good luck when it hits the fan, because deep down you know how incapable the average Amtrak police officer really is.

Our job was (Iam no longer at Amtrak) to protect the system. APD's motto is "protecting A Nation In Transit". Kumant wanted to get rid of the union and go with a Union Pacific style police force. The OSSSO agents were scabs hired at exubernt salaries. Nobody gave a crap that you were vets and "operators". You were scabs. The job and the agency are still running. No agency is perfect and APD might have its losers in management but at least we had a contract. What next, contracting out loccomotive engineers or condcutors because it'll make the agency more effecient? Yeah... Im glad the FOP killed Kumat's scabs and the assinine salaries paid to them.
